that I bad consumption and noth

JLittlo Annie Laurie Fielding.
On Sunday morning latt sweet
little Annie Lauri?, th? three year
old daughter, ot Mr. J. B. Pick
ling, joined ber mother who pre
ceded her to the ppiritjland sever
al nonths r.go. God plucked the
flower in the spring time of life
before it was blighted by the sins
of earth. The remains were car
ried to PregualPfi, S. C., Sun lay
afternoon for interment.
Kim Over by Cars.
On Wednesday afternoon last
Frank Thomas, colored, one of the
quarry hauds, was fatally hurt by a
car loaded with rocks, while at
tempting to pass under it fioni one
side of the track to the ether.
One of his 1 'ge was caught by
the wheels and was so badly lac
erated that he died from the ef
fects of the accident. Before his
death he stated that he had no
business under the car aid that
his getting hurt was due to hi3
own reckless act, completely exon
erating the railroad. Every pre
caution possible is exerc'sed to
prevent accidents, yet so hazard
ous is the work at the quarry that
it is a great wonder that many of
the workmen are not killed.
A Sober Barber.
Sober barbers are as scarce as
gold dollars but, the Lord be
thanked, the long suffering peo
ple of Edgefield are to have one
after being solely ttied for many
mouths with Burne barbers who
would mako better tapsters for
breweries or distilleries than ton
sorial artists. Mr. W. A, Hamil
ton, of Graniteville, bas rented the
Panor Barber Shop from .Mr. John
A. Weir, which has been leased
for some months by a colored bar
ber. We believe that Mr. Hamil
ton will keep a fir6t class shop,
giving satisfactory service. He
is a white man with a family and
a total abstainer from intoxicants.
Therefore, while being shaved by
bim you will not be forced to in
hale the fumes or exudations of a
beer keg or whiskey barrel. Give
Mr. Hamilton your patronage.
He deserves it.
Closing Days of Court.
At the hour of going to press
last week Tom Johnson, indicted
for murder, was being tried, which
trial resulted in his acquittal. At
torney General Gunter represented
the State and J. Wm. Thurmond,
Esq., the defendant. Both of
these gentlemen made able argu
ments. That of Mr. Thurmond has
elicited much favorable comment.
The State vs. Elbert Mathis,
charged with assault and battery
with intent to kill, defendant
found guilty and sentenced to pay
a iiue of $75.00 or serve on tLe
county chain gang for six mouths.
TLe fine wiil probably 1>J paid.
Solicitor Thurmond represented
the State and S. M. Smith, Esq.,
the defendant:
The case of the State vs. Belle
Minis, colored, disposing of crop
under lien, resulted in an acquit
tal. Solicitor Thurmond, assisted
by N. G. Evans, Esq., appeared
for the State and Esqs. S. M.
Smith and S. McG. Simpkins for
the defense.
John Burt indicted for assault
and battery with intent lu kill,
was found guilty of assault and
battery aud tined .$10 OG or thirty
days on chain gang-line was
paid. Solicitor Thurmond prose
cuted the case and B. K. Nichol
son, Esq , represented the defend
ant.
In the case of the State vs.
George Crawford, George Craw
ft.rd, Jr., Jim and Whit Crawford,
indicted for murder, ali were ac
quitted except Whit Crawford
who was found guilty of man
slaughter and recommended to
the mercy of the court, later a new
trial was granted.
Death of Miss Lizzie Kubanks.
Ou last Sunday at noon Miss
Lizzie Eul'anks, one of the true,
the just, the faithful, departed
this life and went home to Ihe
land ot everlasting peace and
righteousness, where the light is
not that of thc pun, moon, nor
stars, but where Jesus is the light.
There all cherished hopeB are
granted, all broken hearts healed,
all pains cease and all ambitions
fulfilled. May wi all meet her
there!
When there is so much dearth
of sincere, substantial Christiani
ty it seems sad that any of these
should be taker., but God knows
best, aud bis ways are noi as our
ways. No daughter of Edgefield's
soil liad more persistently and suc
cessfully struggled amid the fierce
conflict of life than did Miss Liz
zie Eubanks. From her child
hood, against miny odds, she was
a student, and by her own unaided
efforts, bad become one of the
most efficient and successful
teachers in Edgefield county. She
had been teaching for the j.as*
three years near Bradley, but for
the past two sessions had been in
terrupted in her work by severe
illness. So much did Mr. and
Mrs. Cliukscales, with whom she
boarded, value her services that
they urged her to return this 6uni
merand resume the instruction of
their children. This she did and
il was there that a reiaps^ from
her recent illness occurred, She
was brought home to Edgefield,
aud lived only about a week. Miss
Lizzie never lost an opportunity
of impioving her opportunities for
mind culture and her energy and
ambition were unfailing and un
ceasing, her clief aim to be up
right and useful. Who more
justly than she could receive the
fulfillment of the promise, (,Be
thou faithful milo death, and I
will give them a crown of life,"
Mi?s Lizzie was ?beut thirty live
years )f age. and a member of the
Baptist church at Edgefield. lier

The Horticultural Convention.
Ever)' man who owns a gardon
or an orchard should have attend
ed this gathering of experts and
experienced fruir and vegetable
growers. We regret that while it
wes the writer's pleasure to attend,
luck of space precludes the possi
bility of a full account of its pro
ceedings. Experts, who have
made a scientific and experiment
al study of fruit, nurserymen ot
large experience, and practical,
successful fruit, growers were there,
all contributing of their- store of
information to the edification of
those assembled. Col. Ii. J!. Wat
son, the pioneer fruit grower of the
?Ridge, stated that he knew of one
orchard of four acres that would
net $400 and another ot' 10 acres
that would net its owner 1 GOO
this year. lie also stated that in
bis expelience of thirty two years
he had only two total failures.
This is proof positive that fruit
growing for the market is practi
cable and profitable. No other crop
will pay so well. It was urged
that greater quantities ol' small
fruits, such as grapes and straw
berries, be grown. Upon the whole
this was a very interesting and
profitable convention.
Passing ol' the Kx-SIaves
The faithful and honest cx
slaves, commonly known as cid
family negroes, are rapidly pass
ing away. These landmarks of
the ante-bellum days will all soon
be gone and they shall be missed.
His meet and prop-r that notice
should ba taken ol' the death of
some of these faithful servants,
who, while the lathers and sons
were on the far away balli'.- ti dds,
shielded by day and by ii i jr Li t tho
mothers and daughters at home
from all harm. Ail the more
praiseworthy is this faithfulness
when if is remembered that ulti
mate victory for Hie Southern
?rms would have meant their per
petual enslavement. What wun
der is th'-re theil that every South
ern heart wells up with emotions
of respe ct an admiration fur thc
few that remain among us? Not
only were they faithful in the irv
ing tim s of war but during the
yea. s fiat have followed they have
made good citizens. Rarely, ii' ev
er, can any fr iel uh between the
races be traced io these older
heads. They always counsel
against those things that conduce
thereto,
Oh last Thursday Tartar Shep
